Brian May has launched a blistering attack on Theresa May and Brexit

Brian May has criticised Theresa May over Brexit, describing the Prime Minister as “driven by vanity and thirst for power” and the UK’s decision to leave the European Union as “the dumbest thing Britain has ever done in my lifetime”.

The Queen guitarist has long been a vocal critic of both the Tory leader and Brexit, recently accusing the PM of having a “lack of moral fibre”.

“She is, like Cameron before her, driven by vanity and thirst for power,” he said of Theresa May. “It was wrong from the beginning to ask the British to vote on Brexit, which has consequences that most were unaware of.”

Brian May continued: “I’m upset that a few politicians have managed to throw us under a bus. I sincerely hope that we can manage to get out of it again. It’s a disaster, because the losses that are caused by it will be huge for us.”

“Brexit is the dumbest thing Britain has ever done in my lifetime,” he added. “For me and for many other Britons, this is an absolute tragedy, because the story is going in the wrong direction.”
